I've been slacking.

Yesterday, my shiny PS3 of happiness came in. I get to go to the electronic stores today to see if I can't find a router so that I can play it and be online with my computer at the same time. Apparently, I can log into the Playstation store under Leo's login, and download all of the games we paid for back home. Yay. This means I'll have my Super Street Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo, HD remastered. Weeeeee.

Other than that, I've been eating Shadow Puppets while doing a Yoshitaka Amano puzzle I got from curi which was kicking my behind.



Picture stolen from the interwebs at large, but that's the picture I'm working on. At 50 by 75 cm. It's huge and has large spaces that have very little differenciation in color or texture. It got (a little) easier once I realized that I was doing it backwards. I'd started with the gold bits, and got horrendously frustrated, so I put them asside and have been working on the colored bits instead. It's still really hard and time consuming. Which is good, and bad, all at the same time. I like a puzzle to be difficult, but easily doable, if that makes sense. I don't mind pouring over a table full of puzzle pieces, but I'd like to be capable of finding the piece I'm looking for, you know? For the gold bits, when I get to them, I'm seriously going to have to try every single piece in every single spot.

Being sick, I missed a huge sports tournament for elementary school over the weekend, which I probably wouldn't have gone to anyway, but makes me sad that I *couldn't* go, you know?

And, even though I was sick, I've started to work out again. Nothing too envigorating, because I couldn't. Just some upper body with weights and crunches. This morning 4-1 of Heiichi told me that she noticed that I'd been losing weight and asked me how many kilos I'd lost. I had to tell her 4. Which made me feel very good. Yeah, it's not a lot for dieting basically since January, but I haven't gained more and have been able to maintain a (somewhat) steady loosing streak. And really, it's the not putting it back that's my problem. But we'll see how it goes. I'm expecting to gain weight while Leo is here, seeing how we'll probably be sampleing the cuisine fairly often. So geting down ahead of time is important.

I also finished the present that I'm sending to curi, so I'll have to pack it all up and get my keester over to the post office today. On top of buying a router. Although, depending on how long that takes, I might mail her stuff tomorrow. I decided what I'm going to do for veronica, I just didn't bring the right materials to do it today.

And, let's share:

I'm not going to explain this one, the link does it fine. http://io9.com/364715/put-a-nuclear-reactor-in-your-basement Yep, you read that right.
